It's been my experience that a LOT of Counterpoint gear is really starting to fall apart at this point in time. As was mentioned, it would cost as much or more to have it refurbed than what you could get out of it. As such, i would suggest using this as a test-bed to practice your soldering, un-soldering and DIY skills. After all, you've got nothing to lose and you could end up repairing the unit yourself and saving yourself a LOT of money. Sean
